I'm hoping someone in the legal profession or knowledgeable about the House can explain...Is there a reason that the reps dont stay and do this longer than they do? I mean, why cant they stay until all of the bills are heard/voted? This would eliminate the problem of people delaying and lollygagging around until they run out of time. And also allow ALL the bills that make it to that point to be heard and voted. Also, if the reps knew they were staying until ALL of the bills were heard, then they might be less inclined to purposely stall bills out of time.

I think it's equally important to let your representatives know when you disagree and when you agree with them.

He said he had not talked to the senator about this bill in some time but at the time she had not been in support as written. He mentioned that it had just had hearings. I told him that it had come out of committee yesterday and that it was now awaiting a vote to reach the senate floor. I told him I felt this was an important bill for the safety of students on campus, that it deserved a floor vote by the full senate, I would appreciate her vote to send it to the floor, and as a constituent I would be watching closely how Senator Davis voted.

Since she is a Democrat I was likely wasting my time but we can't give up just because things look bad.

Keep calling!!

Let me know if you think this is the wrong approach and I can take it down. I hope I don't send more visitors this way than the servers can handle.
